l The Feast l
Sep 26_2012 John 20
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully Feast in John 20. Our Lord Jesus has arisen overcoming death and sin. He gave the Disciples and those that believe because of them direction. These things were all done so that we would believe. “30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:30-31, English Standard Version (ESV). Does our belief mean that we should attend a bible believing church on Sunday? As long as we do that everyone will know we are good “Christians” able to look down on those who are not members of our church, until Jesus comes again. Knowing this as a matter of fact makes the following verse a silly exercise; “10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:10-12 English Standard Version (ESV). God tells us to be strong as we stand with Him against the enemies of Jesus. Hmm? That seems a little silly doesn't it? Doesn't God's Word say that his people should be fat and flourishing? We really are righteous, which surely means we can bag on those who don't belong to our denomination! “13 Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” Psalm 92:13-15 King James Version. If any of the things I just presented makes perfect sense, you better prayerfully read God's Word. In context God's word makes perfect sense. Be very careful where you get instruction from. When somebody says this, hold it up to the whole Word of God, make sure it doesn't mean that. There are many false doctrines and teachers preaching “God's words” today. “13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.” 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 ESV. With these things in mind we see how important it is to read God's word daily. Hence our Feast together. Jesus paid the whole price for our sin. There is nothing left for us to pay so, keep the first thing first! That is salvation through the blood of the lamb, Jesus. “For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews 10:30-31 ESV. Join us in sharing His love. Keep joining us at http://www.admenu.com/am/praise.html for praise and prayer. I am not educated or a theologian so If I am wrong or mistaken please email me mlitew8@yahoo.com. I love prayerful correction and suggestions. To correspond with a pastor email Pastor Glen; evangelistglen@yahoo.com. If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

Never never get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “…But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything.
God Bless you,
Brother Mike
